Kino - Pack Of Cigarettes

Кино - Пачка сигарет
The band was formed in the summer of 1981 in Leningrad, USSR (now St. Petersburg, Russia) as rock band Garin i giperboloidy (after Aleksei Nikolaevich Tolstoi's novel The Hyperboloid of Engineer Garin) consisting of Tsoi, Aleksei Rybin and Oleg Valinskiy. A year later, the name of the band was changed to Kino. Since rock music was considered a "bourgeois style" in Soviet Union, Kino, like the other rock bands, performed only in semi-underground clubs and at musicians' apartments (kvartirniks).
In the summer of 1982, Kino's first album 45 (named for its length in minutes) was recorded as a collaboration with the band Aquarium. The album was slowly distributed through underground channels and gave a new fame to the group.
The band's first real hit was the album Night released in 1986; the six songs from the album were included in the Red Wave: 4 Underground Bands from the USSR compilation disc released in the U.S. in 1986.
At the beginning of the Perestroika era, the band gained more prominence, and the 1988 album Blood Type, together with the film Needle (Игла, Igla), which starred Tsoi, brought the band to the pinnacle of popularity.
During the next two years, the band released another album and did shows in the USSR and abroad, attracting enormous audiences, until August 15, 1990, when Tsoi died in a car accident near Riga. The tape with the vocal track for the new album survived the accident. The album was completed by the rest of the band and released in 1990 without a title, though it is always cited as The Black Album since it has a wholly black cover.
The band's popularity in the Soviet Union was so extraordinarily high that after Tsoi's death, the words Цой жив! ("Tsoi is alive!") and КИНО appeared on public surfaces throughout the country. Writing these words became a kind of a memorial ritual among fans of the band. Even today the slogan occasionally surfaces in urban graffiti.
All Kino songs were written by Viktor Tsoi. His lyrics are characterized by a poetic simplicity. The ideas of liberty were present (one song was named "Mother Anarchy") but, on the whole, the band's message to the public was not overly politically charged. Their songs largely focused on life, freedom and love. Daily life is embedded in Kino's vocabulary (for instance, there is a song about the elektrichka, a commuter train many suburbanites use daily).

I am looking out of someone's window and see someone's sky
I can't see a star that's mine
I roamed the roads back and forth
Having looked back couldn't find footprints on my path.
But if there's a pack of cigarettes in my pocket
Then the day's not all that bad
And a boarding pass to a silver-wing-plane,
That takes off leaving just a shadow behind
Noone wanted to be found guilty without wine,
Noone wanted to pick the coals with bare hands
And death without music is not picturesque,
So I wouldn't want to die without it
But if there's a pack of cigarettes in my pocket
Then the day's not all that bad
And a boarding pass to a silver-wing-plane,
That takes off leaving just a shadow behind

Пачка Сигалет - Кино
담배 한 갑 - 키노
Я сижу и смотрю в чужое небо из чужого окна
나는 다른이의 낯선 창문으로 낯선 하늘을 바라보며 앉아 있었고
И не вижу ни одной знакомой звезды.
그 어떤 익숙한 별도 찾을 수 없었어.
Я ходил по всем дорогам и туда, и сюда,
나는 이곳 저곳을 돌아다니며 방황하고 있었고,
Обернулся - и не смог разглядеть следы.
내가 돌아왔을 때 나의 발자국은 이미 사라지고 없었어.
Но если есть в кармане пачка сигарет,
하지만 내 주머니에 담배 한 갑이 남아 있다면,
Значит все не так уж плохо на сегодняшний день.
지금이 그정도로 나쁘지는 않을거야.
И билет на самолет с серебристым крылом,
그리고 은색 날개를 가진 비행기를 타기 위한 표,
Что, взлетая, оставляет земле лишь тень.
그 비행기는 이 땅에 그림자만을 남긴채 날아가지.
И никто не хотел быть виноватым без вина,
아무도 와인도 없이 비난받고 싶어하지 않고,(아무도 잘못한 일 없이 비난받고 싶어하지 않고,)
И никто не хотел руками жар загребать,
아무도 자기 손으로 석탄을 긁고 싶어하지 않지.(누구도 다른 이를 위해 더러운 일을 하고 싶지 않지.)
А без музыки на миру смерть не красна,
그리고 음악이 없다면 그 어떤 죽음도 아름다울 수 없고,
А без музыки не хочется пропадать.
나 역시 음악이 없는 곳에서 사라지고 싶지 않아.
Но если есть в кармане пачка сигарет,
하지만 내 주머니에 담배 한 갑이 남아있다면,
Значит все не так уж плохо на сегодняшний день.
지금이 그 정도로 나쁘지는 않을거야.
И билет на самолет с серебристым крылом,
그리고 은색 날개를 가진 비행기를 타기 위한 표,
Что, взлетая, оставляет земле лишь тень.
그 비행기는 이 땅에 그림자만을 남긴채 날아가지.

Polish version
Siedzę, patrząc w obce niebo z obcego okna
I nie widzę ani jednej gwiazdy, którą bym znał
Wszystkie drogi już schodziłem i we wszystkie strony
Odwracałem się, nie mogąc rozpoznać swych śladów
ref:
Ale jeśli jest w kieszeni paczka papierosów
Znaczy - dzień nie będzie jeszcze taki zły
Bilet na samolot, co na srebrzystych skrzydłach
Leci w górę, zostawiając ziemi tylko cień
I nikt nie chciał być winowajcą bez winy
I nikt nie chciał gołej dłoni wkładać w żar
A bez muzyki na świecie żadna śmierć nie jest piękna
A bez muzyki przepadać jakoś żal...
Ale jeśli jest w kieszeni paczka papierosów...

[@yuema2078]

when i first heard of this song i had no idea what it means. it was a lonely night in shanghai in 2013, and i played it repeatedly for some reason.
i later found its english translation:
I sit down and look out another's window at another strange sky
And I don't see even one familiar star,
I've traveled along all roads, I've been here and I've been there,
And when I turned back, my own footprints were gone...
But if I've got a pack of cigarettes in my pocket,
Then today won't be so bad after all,
And a ticket for the plane with silver wings,
Which flies away, leaving only a shadow on the ground...
And no one wants to be guilty for a crime they didn't commit,
And no one wants to do someone else's dirty work,
And without music, even company in distress won't make trouble less,
And without music, I don't want to fall...
But if I've got a pack of cigarettes in my pocket,
Then today won't be so bad after all,
And a ticket for the plane with silver wings,
Which flies away, leaving only a shadow on the ground...

[@Wilantonjakov]

This is because it is a beautiful and sad song.

[@MrLeiduowen]

真的嗎？我第一次聽到他的歌時是1996年在北京的一個（一系列）孤單的夜晚！

[@graveetsamusique6073]

Je m'assois et regarde le ciel de quelqu'un d'autre depuis la fenêtre de quelqu'un d'autre
Et je ne vois pas une seule étoile familière.
J'ai parcouru toutes les routes et ici et là,
Je me suis retourné - et je n'ai pas pu distinguer les traces.
Mais si vous avez un paquet de cigarettes dans votre poche,
Cela signifie que tout n'est pas si mal aujourd'hui.
Et un billet d'avion avec une aile d'argent
Qui, décollant, ne laisse qu'une ombre à la terre.
Et personne ne voulait être coupable sans vin,
Et personne ne voulait profiter de la chaleur avec ses mains,
Et sans musique dans le monde, la mort n'est pas rouge,
Et sans musique, vous ne voulez pas disparaître.
Mais si vous avez un paquet de cigarettes dans votre poche,
Cela signifie que tout n'est pas si mal aujourd'hui.
Et un billet d'avion avec une aile d'argent
Qui, décollant, ne laisse qu'une ombre à la terre.

(Which was a KGB Agent at the time.) The band is so powerful that if you were to talk shit about it in public in EX-СССР or Former Soviet Countries you'll get killed or beaten near to it. Even police will join in. This Video wasn't banned by the СССР it just couldn't be popularized fully. And even so, Кино acted like they were Pro-СССР. Which they weren't.
